About the property

Transitional New Build on Nearly One-Acre in Cedardale

What immediately sets 121 Juju Dr (Lot 23) apart is the land — nearly an acre (0.92 acres) in Cedardale that gives this transitional-style new build a rare sense of space for Clayton. Built in 2025 by JSJ Builders Inc., the home stretches roughly 2,725 square feet across two stories and pairs modern finishes with practical family planning: a main-floor primary suite, generous common areas, and a flexible upstairs rec room that adapts to your household.

Step through a welcoming foyer into a formal dining room that transitions toward an open family zone where a large island anchors the kitchen. The chef-ready layout includes a walk-in pantry and an eat-in breakfast area adjacent to the family room — ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Materials and exterior details speak to the home’s transitional character: board-and-batten and shake accents with stone and vinyl siding, plus a fireplace that adds warmth to the main living area.

Privacy and convenience are central to the primary suite on the main floor. The spa-style bath is appointed with dual vanities, a soaking tub and a separate shower, providing a true owner’s retreat without stairs. Two additional bedrooms upstairs share a full bath and benefit from ample storage including a large walk-in linen closet. The upstairs rec space is intentionally generous — perfect for a second living area, home office, kids’ play zone or media room.

Practical systems are in place: central air, an electric heat pump, public water, Duke Energy electric service, and a septic system. A two-car attached garage plus driveway space yields comfortable parking for household vehicles and guests. Outside, the broad lot offers room for gardens, outdoor play, or future outbuildings and lends a quieter, more rural feel while remaining minutes from neighborhood amenities.

Cedardale offers suburban growth with easy reach to downtown Clayton activities, medical services and greenways. With Polenta Elementary and Swift Creek Middle receiving strong local ratings and a high school that performs above average, this property is positioned for families seeking new construction, space and quick access to the Triangle corridor. Priced at $579,706 and brand-new, this home reflects current buyer demand for well-located new builds with larger yards and thoughtful floor plans.

Editorial neighborhood context

Cedardale is a growing subdivision on the eastern edge of Clayton that blends suburban convenience with expanded yard space uncommon in newer developments.

The area has a community-oriented feel with new home builds, nearby healthcare access and easy links to the broader Triangle employment centers.

Editorial market perspective

Local market dynamics currently favor sellers of new construction while remaining broadly balanced across the greater Clayton area. Inventory sits at about 2.5 months — lean compared with historical norms — and average days on market are roughly 45 days. Median sale price in the immediate area is near $450,000, but new construction in Cedardale is commanding a premium: recent nearby closings range from $519,900 to $579,900 with price-per-square-foot near $211–$214. One-year appreciation is approximately 5% with five-year gains near 25%, indicating steady longer-term growth. For buyers, the constraints of limited new-home inventory and demand for modern amenities mean competitive showings; for sellers, properly priced new construction moves faster than resales. Given current trends and the strong appeal of a large lot, this listing is well-positioned — buyers should be prepared to move quickly and verify taxes, HOA rules and septic requirements during due diligence.
